Emerson To Support Total E&P Denmark In Tyra Gas Project

Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE:EMR) , on Nov 25, announced that it has clinched a deal from Total E&P Denmark A/S to offer wellhead pressure monitoring technology for the latter’s Tyra gas field redevelopment project. Following the announcement, its share price increased 1% to close at $74.43 on Tuesday.

Emerson’s technology will help in boosting the security during the multi-year redevelopment project, designed to expand the life of the largest gas field of Denmark. It will assist Total E&P Denmark in replacing the current wellhead platforms by installing new and elevated topsides, which will guarantee continuous production from the gas field. Total E&P Denmark is committed to invest about $3.3 billion in the redevelopment project, the largest of its kind in the Danish North Sea.

Emerson will be responsible for offering in excess of 200 Rosemount wireless pressure transmitters for installation on the four riser platforms. These devices will help in transmitting data to two Emerson DeltaV PK controllers, which will be installed on the accommodation platforms. Upon completion, the redevelopment project will facilitate Tyra in producing more than 200 million barrels of oil.

Our Take

Emerson is experiencing persistent softness in the global discrete manufacturing market due to soft automotive, semiconductor, packaging and textiles end markets.
